Letter to the editor: Kudos to road crew in Gillett

In the midst of a not only cold but very snowy winter, I would like to offer a word of thanks to the Public Works Department in Gillett for their unfailingly prompt and thorough clearing of our city's streets.

Many nights I return from work to find them busily clearing roads in the middle of the night and have everything ready by morning. When I leave the next day, I pass through other area communities still working at clearing the last of their snowfall and finishing up their streets.

Not to knock anyone's efforts, though - especially this year. All the plow crews and road departments have done an excellent job keeping our highways as safe as possible. But I think we have become so accustomed to the continued diligence of our city employees in Gillett that we forget to appreciate it.
